Hello Charles !

We also think that this is somekind of Undo feature. Actually the trashbin 
icon dani created is a bin with a back arrow on the top of it ;-). 

Konqueror already has somekind of Undo support, and if I find the way to do it 
I will make this available also through "CTR+Z" (or whatever keystroke the 
user has assigned to it). That would make it consistent with KDE.

But that might not be enough. In a web browser we are opening and closing tabs 
and web pages all the time, because users browse the web much more than they 
write it. Also, most of the time you want to access last closed page 
without "undoing" what you writted in current page. So it becomes very handy 
having a quick list of recetly closed tabs just in case you want to reopen 
some of them (or just click in the button instead, to get last closed tab). 
Just food for thought :P

Or perhaps not and this should if anything in the Go menu and maybe as an 
toolbar button but not enabled by default, because we have already enough 
buttons in the toolbar =). In opera it's not a normal toolbar button but a 
small one which apears where we have the "close tab" mini-button. And in 
Firefox, this appears only in the history menu as "Recently closed tabs" 
(starting in 2.0).

Have a nice time,
          Eduardo Robles Elvira.
